AN ADVENTURE IN SPACE AND TIME - REACTION 

"We don't want to go," was far more heartbreaking in this than 10's. Hartnell had Doctor Who taken from him.

Hartnells I don't want to go scene just absolutely broke my heart... like literally a million pieces shattered across time and space...

"I don't want to go" got to me. Makes me tear up every time I watch that scene.

Checked IMDB. "Tenth Planet" was broadcasted in 1966. Matt Smith was born in 1982. Capladi, however, in 1958. He was 8 years old watching (probably) the episode's premiere. Is there an interview mentioning this? Anyone?

Waaaaaaaaaa?!?! Damn Alex, talk about being Late to the Party!

William Hartnell's Doctor was the most magical character of my childhood. I was only 8 years old when he first came into my life, and because of him and the wonderful and unique way he played the Doctor, Saturday was the only day of the week that mattered. Doctor Who still owes an immense debt to him.

I envy you for not watching this, I'd love to have done a reaction to this. It was beautiful. I just loved how they introduced the Daleks, they introduced them in a way that proved the Daleks were sinister! And unpopular opinion, Bradley saying "I don't want to go" was more heartbreaking than Tennant, there I said it. So glad you reacted to this, it was an awesome reaction!

YES! So glad you watched this at last. Told you you'd love it!!

it was Nicholas Pegg who called the BBC a group of c's, not Briggs (thankfully, can't imagine who could replace the iconic Dalek voices)

This amazing film left me in tears. Rest In Peace William Hartnell. A beloved Man and actor. who's part is still being played to this very day. Love from all over the globe!

I feel you brother. When Matt Smith "POPPED" in there at the end I blew a gasket trying to hold in a sob. I have no idea why, just that it seemed appropriate.

8:25....that line crushes my heart every GODDAMN TIME!!!!

You'll never look at a First Doctor episode without remembering this show. Guarantee it.

Have you seen The Five(ish) Doctors Reboot? If not, you should 😉😆

Yes my dude. Yes. "I don't want to go." When David and Matt did it I was like "Yeah. Okay." Here when Hartnell says it I bawled.

It was actually Nicholas Pegg who got sacked for calling BBC Worldwide c***s. He was one of the dalek operators. Easy mistake to make though. Glad you enjoyed it, I always tear up at the end :)

8:23 That is probably the most heartbreaking scene I have ever seen in any movie.....

By the way, it wasn't Nicholas Briggs who wrote in DWM, it was the Dalek operator, Nicholas Pegg. I know, very similar names, but yeah, it wasn't Briggs.

8:24 Those five words get me every time I watch this !

"I don't want to go" line literally always kills me

"Of course, that makes sense. Wearing a bit thin...I just hope the ears aren't as conspicuous this time..."

I'm happy you did this reaction today. It is a nice Thanksgiving treat. An Adventure in Space and Time was well-done as a Doctor Who biopic. David Bradley deserves an award for his portrayal of William Hartnell. Look forward to his role in the Christmas special alongside Peter Capaldi.

Both the original show and this one were made with a lot of love. And that is why you cried.

I haven't seen this since transmission day. That scene when Matt turns up is a right wee tear jerker.

Wasn't it beautiful!!!

Hi Alex, just discovered your channel. I loved watching your reaction to this film. I'm amazed that someone so young has a fondness for Doctor Who going back to it's beginnings. My father was a huge Doctor Who fan, and he watched it from the beginning. We lived near the Canadian border in upstate New York then, I was born that year. By the time I was six (1969) and the Apollo LEM landed on the moon, he got me hooked on Patrick Troughton. He used to sneak me downstairs to watch it on PBS so my mom wouldn't know (she said it was scary). Now I'm a grown up man of 54 and am a huge fan with a long history with Doctor Who, and my emotions are deeply attached to the show. It's like part of my family and my life. Seeing your reactions brought you into my life as part of my extended family. You are so much younger and haven't experienced it from the beginning, but share the same intense love and emotions for the show an older fan like me. It's refreshing to see a fan emoting about something they love. Just had to let that out. You'll now have a much better experience watching David Bradley in the Christmas Special. He will already be fixed in your heart as William Hartnell so he will be real in your mind, as if he really did "come back". PS: I loved watching your lips move as you quoted each line of that speech. Hugs from Berlin, Germany. Antonio.

"I don't want to go." Damn, that line always gets me.

I'm so happy you reacted to this! You're one of my favourite reactors on youtube, and this has made my day thank you :)

Nic Briggs didn't get fired! It was a Dalek operator (the guy in the tank), Nicholas Pegg! Nic Briggs is the voice of the Daleks and he's all good.

YOU MEMORISED THE FREAKING 1ST DOCTOR SPEECH!?

"I don't want to go" and the Matt Smith cameo got me

9:02 Tears, fam, tears.

WTF?? I was just rewatching ChiqueGeeks, suddenly this appeared on the sidebar, saying it had just *2 views* ???!! I just HAD to click it!...

ALEX. YOU MADE ME CRY ABOUT DOCTOR WHO. ON DOCTOR WHO DAY. THIS IS NOT OKAY. Seriously though, I teared up just watching this reaction. How fun that you hadn't seen it! I'm glad you enjoyed!

I cry every single time I watch that scene where he looks over and sees Matt Smith standing there (I wonder should he have looked around the console room and we see the backs of every other actor who played the Dr circled around him? Or would that have been too much?). Please, please lets have the comments back for your Buffy reactions, we promise to be good and there's only 15 eps to go!

You need to see The five(ish) Doctors. You are gonna love it

Yay! I don’t know why more people haven’t seen this. As someone else said, it was clearly made with a lot of love.

Alex you were not alone I too had not seen it and when I say you reacted to it I had to look it up and watch it. I balled like a baby when they showed Matt Smith and when I was done I went to RU-vid and watched your reaction and cried all over again.

We may love our current Doctors, but Hartnell was the foundation with Troughton just solidifying it. The creators took a big gamble with the concept of regeneration, and we are all lucky that the idea payed out at 1,000,000 to 1.

I’m sure you’ve already seen, but for the 60th they put ncuti in smiths place. It was really awesome to see.

Never thought I'd see Torchy sobbing for Walder Frey! ^_^

You did exactly the same thing I did, my emotions went crazy, I cried when William cried, and when he said ( I DON"T WANT TO GO, that gave me heart break, then the 11th made me scream....Loved every second of the show.....LONG LIVE THE DOCTOR, no matter who he/she is.

Nice surprise on Doctor Who's birthday, cannot believe the 50th anniversary was 4 years ago!

A brilliant program showing what went into making Doctor Who into what it is today.

I loved the scene with Matt, for me it felt like by seeing Matt (11th Doctor) William saw the legacy he helped create. He saw that the show would continue and thrive for many more years to come.

Okay, this is officially the sweetest, most heartfelt and beautiful Doctor Who reaction I've seen. Thank you for posting and sharing. (Aside: There are nine bitter, sad, ugly-hearted people out there with their thumbs pointing down).

Another great reaction. It's a brilliant piece, executed with the lightest touch. Other cameos include Mark "Marco Polo" Eden as the BBC executive who says they'll have to cancel the show and Anneke "Polly" Wills at Vertiys' farewell party. Alongside Jean Marsh (The Crusades, The Dalek Masterplan, Battlefield) and Michael Ferguson, director of The War Machines, The Seeds of Death, The Ambassadors of Death and The Claws of Axos. He was also an Assistant Floor Manager on The Daleks, operating the sucker arm that approachs Barbara at the end of part one. Whovian DVD host/ interviewer Toby Hadoke plays the barman.

I know the feeling, me boyo. I was crying like a little girl after scrapping her knee. I kept telling my parents that I wasn't crying, but the onion ninjas struck again. But that scene with Matt was really beautiful. Especially considering that in that scene in the original episode, those switches on the console that Matt was standing at *moved* by themselves. Think about that.

This always brings a tear to my eyes no matter what. That break down scene always gets me

The reaction is the best

It's so obvious why David Bradley deserved another go at Hartnell/The First Doctor. Fantastic !!! Bring on The Christmas Special !!!

Holy crap! I thought this must be something old that RU-vid was recommending I rewatch. This is so awesome! I can't wait to watch.

Even though I've already seen it I was crying along with you. Again. Gah!

I was crying with you and this is coming from someone who watched it when it came out 😂 When you said "Hello Bill" I said "Hello Matt" loved your reaction to that scene especially ❤

I’m glad you hadn’t watched it, so we get to see your reaction, which was wonderful as always. Happy dr who day.x

Torchwood Boy, An explanation for you about Sydney Newman freaking at "Exterminate" and them showing the barrel of a lugar pistol. Sydney was a Canadian Jew and that business undoubtedly reminded him of the Holocaust Many survivors of the war moved to Canada. Rush singer Geddy Lee goes around to schools in Canada telling kids about the Holocaust because both of his parents are survivors.

It’s a brilliant show, and a real bonus to get your reaction too, great work

Great reaction, Alex! I still need tissues near me during several scenes. Glad you enjoyed this and am looking forward to the Christmas special!! Happy Dr Who Day!

they made me cry too alex. but its such a beautiful programme

Peters I don’t want I go is the most emotional 😞😰

This was amazing and it got me at the end.

Got AN ADVENTURE IN SPACE AND TIME as an early Xmess present, and thought I'd have a look around for reactions. Tripped over your channel, and this is the first one I found. So, hey, you've got a new subscriber. Just call me The Bad Wolf, and don't burn out. I just found you.

Cant believe uv only just seen this. Keep the reactions coming, ur fab

EVERY Whovian should have watched this! Unfortunately you only know AFTERWARDS.....

I cry every time I watch this documentary. I must've seen it a good three or four times xD Honestly mate, you should check out the books 'Space Helmet For A Cow' and 'Space Helmet For A Cow 2', because they're full of history of the show along with fun stories about the production. Book 1 goes from 1963-1987, while book 2 goes from 1996-2013. :) Also, I'm just curious. How much Classic Who have you seen? I'm nearly done with it, just season 25 and season 26 to go for me. It's taken me a good five years, but I've loved every second of it!

even to this day this movie makes me cry every time 😢

I'm honestly surprised you hadn't seen this yet, but hey, better late than never, right? And you definitely picked the right day to watch it. On a related note, have you seen The Five(ish) Doctors Reboot? If not, GO WATCH IT. You'll thank me later. :)

I very rarely cry from any form of film but man this hit hard the first time i saw it an hour before the 50th

forgot just how powerful this program is.

He/she who does not cry at the end of this, has no heart.

When I watched this for the first time I cryed it broke me

Really glad you enjoyed that (though admitting to surprise you hadn't seen it!). A brilliant interpretation/exploration of Hartnell's real life character as well as the origins of the series. Would love to see more Reece Shearsmith as Troughton/Doctor Two. What do you think of the idea?

Whoa, I actually thought this was a reupload :P

HOLY GOD< MATT SMITH!!!!

Finally !!! Thank you so much and Happy Doctor Who Day

The cutest vlogger has the best reactions

Goddammit. Great reaction.

Clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap!!!!!!!!!

Here's how poor Hartnell's health was: he was in his 50's when he retired. Bill Bradley is 75 and he looks the exact same.That poor poor man.

I mean, it shouldn't be QUITE so sexy when you place with your hoodie laces........and yettttttt lol

My favorite part of the movie was they found an actor who looks like the first Doctor. I am so glad that you did this review. David Bradley could have done the Bio of William Hartnel

Did you know Jean Marsh was married to Jon Pertwee?

To be fair, I only saw it for the first time back when Series 10 was on. And ever since, I get very annoyed when people say 'An Adventure in Time and Space' instead of 'An Adventure in Space and Time'. It's a stupid little nitpick, but it does get to me.

Damnit Mr Smith come back! XD

andddddd im crying....

Pretty much like me the entire time :P

Way better than DOTD

Nice reaction

Steven Moffat was the best thing to happen to Doctor Who.

Great Reaction! I haven't watch your content for like months, maybe almost a year! Because... I have a like BIG examination that determine my future, hehe, anyway, this monday will be the last day, So i will be free! ANd might be go to university! (I Hope XD) Ohh and... because i was so focus about this year examination, I didnt watch Doctor Who Series 10 yet... but i will after my exam... which is this monday, and maybe want to become a reaction youtuber like you.

This movie is just great! Makes me super emotional.

I'm assuming that the gunshots during the reading of _The Daleks_ was meant to be Newman realising that the Daleks were Nazis.

Finally!!!!! 😁😁😁😁

it wasnt Nicholas briggs that was fired, wasnt it Nicholas pegg who was fired?

Oh, and after having a look around this channel and the old one, I'm surprised about one thing: for someone called Torchwood Boy, there's not even one video of you watching any Torchwood episodes. I'm certain this has been mentioned before, but I'm new to this channel, so hey, any chance of you doing a bit of TARDIS riding back to the origins of your 'Tube name, and watching some 'wood?

oh finally , im very glad for the reaction , the movie is so beautiuful you missed so much

Matt smith in front of the console 9:00 ??

Torchwoodboy you didn't react to the after credits scenes, nobody ever reacts to them, they end the reactions at the credits

And the most terrible thing is that William Hartnell took his paycheck after he died😯Also Happy Doctor Who day

Yo torchwood boy, get Bri and Christi to react for this
